Feep Dam, located in Cedar Springs, Georgia, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose classified as "Other." The dam, designed by Bill Sellers and completed in 1980, stands at a height of 36.9 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet. It has a storage capacity of 1704 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 141.7 acres, drawing water from an unknown river or stream in the Early County.
Despite being state-jurisdiction regulated, Feep Dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam's condition is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in June 2016. With uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses minimal risk to surrounding areas but is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Feep Dam an intriguing case study in dam management and maintenance, given its unique design features and location in a rural area of Georgia. The dam's historical completion and ongoing risk assessment provide valuable insights into the challenges and considerations involved in maintaining critical water infrastructure in a changing climate landscape.
